    It has to happen. They already let us down before with Pac & Floyd. This will kill the sport if it doesn't happen.

    He has to. No excuse...best opponent, biggest payday, last chance to fight Mosley before he's washed up.

    I feel he will step up and fight Mosley...I think he understands that even his most ardent supporters will question his willingness to fight the best if he doesn't seize this opportunity. This fight has to happen

    The question now will be what excuses will the haters have if this fight is made?? I think Mosley's long layoff will be their new weapon of choice

    Money May will face him and let him have his balco special as well.


    Oh and someone bumped a Hatton/Paulie M thread today which had me all nostalgic about how I got to own your avatar for a month.

    We are still doing a 1 month bet for Mosley/PBF should it happen, arent we?

    I think that Mosley vs Berto is off specifically to make room for Mosley vs Floyd. If I remember correctly Al Haymon manages both Berto and Floyd, and although the Haitian tragedy is terrible I'm sur that Berto is a warrior who would have gone through with the fight and dedicated it to his nation. It would make sense that Haymon advised Berto to step aside so that Floyd vs Mosley could be made, and that the earthquake in haiti is a perfect alibi. At the same time it allows Berto to focus on his family and lvoed ones in these hard times.

    I'm about as big of a Mosley fan as there is around here, and if Floyd steps up, he will get props from me.

    :good

    Will Floyd request 154Ib again? I doubt it!

    Ah come on Tommy, he moved up for a bigger fight and then he stepped aside because Oscar wanted the fight.

    Dude, I was not gonna sit there and piece together the intricate combination of faux spelling to achieve the desired phonetic effect when I know that those who know, know . . . and those who don't, well, that's another thing altogether. But, anyway, Curly's classic and I appreciate the correction. :good
